Treatment
Foot and Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain affects every step you take. We look at the whole chain to find what is really going on and treat it without surgery.
Foot and ankle pain can come from sprains, tendon trouble, arthritis, or alignment issues. Since your feet carry and balance your whole body, problems there often spread upward. Our care treats the area and the mechanics behind it.
After examining your foot, ankle, and gait, your plan may include therapies that reduce inflammation and support healing, custom orthotics, and movement work to restore stable, balanced motion.
Restoring healthy foot and ankle function eases pain and protects the knees, hips, and back that depend on a solid base. Dr. Sarah Scharf treats the lower body as a connected system, not isolated parts.
